Pool sessions are good for learning rescues, sculling, rolls and other strokes. The water is clean and warm.

Meet in school carpark 20:15 for 20:30 start. If you arrive later go to the rear of the building at the top of the carpark and open the first door on your right as you come around the corner - that is the pool.

If it's your first time, make yourself known to Martin who runs the session and will probably be wearing a red BCC T-shirt.

Boats, spraydecks and paddles provided. If you wish to bring your own boat please get permission first by emailing Martin mailto:pool@bathcanoeclub.co.uk. You must thoroughly clean your boat inside and out first - no dirt in the pool !

The session is not structured and you are free to practice as you wish. At least one coach will be present (look for the red T-shirts)- but if you want guidance you will need to approach them -don't wait to be asked !

You will need to bring: swim wear and T-shirt to wear in the pool. Googles and nose clip are advisable due to the clhorine. Towel.

Bouyancy aids are not usually worn in the pool or provided, so if you want one you will need to bring one.

Session finishes 22:00, though you can of course leave earlier.

If you are a BCC member these sessions are included in your membership fee, i.e. are free.

What is the Discover Award?

The Discover Award allows you to develop your decision making and practical skills for a fun and safe time on the water, as you become a more skilled and independent paddler. Through this award you will learn how to choose and effectively use equipment, whilst developing an understanding of the factors which affect your paddling.

Why should I do the Discover Award?

If you want to develop your skills from your Start Award, or feel like you need to expand your basic paddling knowledge further, this is the award you need. The award covers topics such as:

Encouraging independent decision making on different bodies of water (moving river, canal, estuary, harbour), covering safety and weather aspects too

For the river sessions you will be expected to arrive at the clubhouse by 6.00pm in order to be on the water for 6.30pm. We will be off the water by about 8.30pm with a debrief in the clubhouse and finish at 9.00pm.

It is most useful but not essential to do the pool session before any of the river sessions. If you wish to do this course but are unable to come to the scheduled pool session you will be welcome to attend any subsequent pool session(s).

This course is aimed at anyone over 18. There will be courses in the summer aimed at family groups.

You do not need to be a club member to take this course

Off-load boats on the western end of the Esplanade where there is some brief stopping. Parking can then be found either off Station Road just to east, not certain about long stay, or west up the hill where there is a big pay & display car park.
